Joewee Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I was in the Navy from 1985 to 1989 and was on a ship from 1986 to 1989. When I went in the navy I weighed about 155 lbs. When I got out I weighed about 115 lbs. At the end of my term I had a lot of anxiety which culminated into a going to the E.R. for a full blown panic attack 3 years after my discharge. I was on medication for anxiety and depression after that for about 13 years. Currently I am not on any medication but still have panic attacks with some depression. I also have been suffering from some Vertigo and have to take Dramamine as it can be difficult to function being so dizzy. Would it be worth it for me to file?

Gmann_2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Well the obvious answer is, it wouldn't/couldnt hurt. But you will need strong documnetation to back up your claim such as medical records from the Navy, and the VA if you have any from them. You will also need to prove how your current or ongoing medical conditions are military related, i.e. a specific incident, which may have caused you to be suffering now. Good Luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Navy from 1985 to 1989 and was on a ship from 1986 to 1989.
When I went in the navy I weighed about 155 lbs. When I got out I weighed
about 115 lbs. At the end of my term I had a lot of anxiety which culminated
into a going to the E.R. for a full blown panic attack 3 years after my
discharge. I was on medication for anxiety and depression after that for
about 13 years. Currently I am not on any medication but still have panic
attacks with some depression. I also have been suffering from some Vertigo
and have to take Dramamine as it can be difficult to function being so dizzy.
Would it be worth it for me to file?
